MYSORE, CANARA, AND MALABAR. 10$
By the ancient custom, the Gaudas, or chiefs of villages, were CHAPTER
hereditary, and the heirs, still retain the dignity; but the power is ^J^*b,
lodged with the renters, who offer the highest sum ; and every year, Sept.11—ia.
Tenures
in the month preceding midsummer, a new Jummabiinda, or agree-
ment, is made. A farmer cannot be turned out of his possession so
long as he pays the fixed rent; but if he gives over cultivation,
the officers of government may transfer his lands to any other
person.
The rent for dry-field is paid in -money, according to an old va- Rent on dry-
luation made by Chica Diva Rdya of Mysore ; and most of it pays
40 Fanams a year for every Candaca, or almost 3 s. 6d. an acre. This
includes both good and bad soils; care having been taken, in lay-
ing out the fields, to include in each nearly an equal proportion of
the four different kinds of soil. In some high places, where there
is no good soil, the Candaca lets at twenty Fanams, or at about 2,0d.
an acre. Some land that is now cultivated for rice, having been
dry-field at fhe time when the valuation was made, continues to
pay the old rent.
By far the greater part, however, of the wet-land pays by a Rent of wa-
division of the crop, made as follows: the produce of a Candaca-
land having been taken,
The farmer gets for his labour
The Mety, or priest to the stake of Cassia Fistula
The Saktis, or destructive spirits -■
The watchman, Talliari, or Barica, as he is here called
The Shanaboga of the Hobly, or accomptant of the division
The Nirgunty, or conductor of water
The ironsmith - - - - -.

The remainder is equally divided between the government andi
farmer, the latter taking the sweepings at the bottom of the heap~
